1. Objective

Our objective is to find out if The Tower 300 can efficiently extract the heat generated by the latest

components, so we built a system with an Intel i9-13900K and a ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX® 4090 OC and

put it to the test. The passing criteria we set was to keep the internal temperature under 45°C while the

system is running at full load, with Eight installed fans and a AIO 420 installed.

4NO: RS202311230001

2. Equipment

The equipment we used in the thermal testing includes:

1. Temperature & Humidity Chamber

2. Data Acquisition Device

3. Thermocouple

The Temp. & Humidity Chamber ensures consistency in the testing environment, particularly temperature

and humidity. The temperature was set at 25°C and the humidity at 50% in the chamber.

The Data Acquisition Device helps us to directly collect the data through thermocouples, which is the most

important equipment for our testing. We set up the thermocouple inside the case at various points to

measure the temperature.

We used AIDA64 Extreme and FurMark ROG Edition to push 100% load on the CPU and GPU and tested for

30 minutes.

3. Procedure

Testing steps:

1. Ready the systems

2. Place the chassis into the Temp. & Humidity Chamber

3. Set the thermocouple at the specified places

4. Set up the Temp. & Humidity Chamber - temperature at 25 °C and the humidity at 50%

5. Turn on the Temp. & Humidity Chamber and start testing (for 30 minutes)

6. Check the data acquired from the Data Acquisition device

6. Thermal Stress Test

We expected to see higher temperature at the exhaust points and relatively lower temperature at the intake positions. The

highest temperature was found at the AIO exhaust, which is reasonable given the CPU was running at full load. Most of

the intake positions recorded a temperature lower than 45°C since they were drawing air from environment. Two critical

positions we were looking at are NO. 104 GPU Fan and NO. 110 AIO Cover, which were drawing internal air to cool two of

the most important components.
